Description: Just 5 minutes from Fall River and Taunton, and 15 minutes from New Bedford, Freetown State Forest is a vast tract of public land acquired over a twenty year period beginning in the 1930's. Near the main entrance is a day use area, with wading pool, picnic area, fields and restrooms. The remainder of the forest offers 50 miles of unpaved roads and trails. Horseback riders, dog Sledders, mountain bikers, and seasonal motorcycle and snowmobile users are welcome, as are hunters and anglers in season. Rattlesnake Brook, which meanders throughout much of the property, is stocked with brook trout each spring.
Profile Rock, a 50-foot outcropping, shows a profile of what the Wampanoags believe to be Chief Massasoit. The 5,441-acre Forest also includes the 227-acre Watuppa Reservation, which belongs to the Wampanoag Nation, and is the site of annual tribal meetings.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by andybene on April 25, 2011
I agree with some of these reviews to a point. It all depends on where you ride. If you park off of the dirt road on High st. You can bike up around Ledge Rd. When you reach the top you'll be looking at rocks and an open view...this is the Assonet Ledge that is said to be haunted. I personally felt a little nausea. So I decided to go even further up "which is pretty difficult for a climb, but I guess it's worth it. Then it goes downhill to the bottom of the ledge. If your looking for more trails DAMN there is a ton off of both Upper Ledge Rd and Lower. Just be careful of dirt bikes because they're out there! Also the trails could be a bit messy in some locations from the motor bikes, not fun in this sense.

At one time this was good place to ride. I give it a try every year and each time is more disappointing. The majority of the trails are fire road or double track that has been rutted out by ATV and Moto users. Any singletrack i could find was short lived or very over grown from lack of use. If you are in this are and want a good ride head to massasoit
